• Develop full systems solutions, including memory interfaces, high speed buses, clock domains, and signal integrity analyses.
• Manage and communicate product development status and issues across entire Product Development Life-Cycle through reviews and demonstrations
• Drive adherence to radiation-hardening and defense/aerospace FPGA development standards.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with systems, software, avionics, and test teams to ensure FPGA functionality integrates seamlessly with the spacecraft
• Establish best practices in design reviews, configuration management, and verification methodologies
• Manage schedules, budgets, and technical risk within the FPGA development domain
